Guest guest Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Thyroid antibodies can come & go during the Hashi process. I had NO thyroid antibodies for over 20 years then suddenly I had them again My first Saliva antibody came out negative my second positive and was mirrored by blood labs, but I do think blood is more accurate for antibody testing than saliva. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Somebody here once said that when the antibodies show up in the saliva and not the blood, they are growing but when they show up in the blood, they have progressed and grown. cathyedens wrote: I agree that the blood test for antibodies is more accurate. I have always tested negative for antibodies using saliva and positive using blood - I even did both on the same day to experiment with this. The thing is though, you may not have tested positive for the antibodies you were being tested for at a particular time, but you may not have been tested for all of the antibody markers that indicate thyroid disease. I found that many docs just don't understand antibody function well enough to even know which ones to look at. That said, they do fluctuate as well. So while you were probably tested freqently for TPO, there may have been others rising as TPO was falling and vice versa. > > Thyroid antibodies can come & go during the Hashi process.
